I personally prefer to work in "traditional" or print-focused terms, since my end goal is to print. I also prefer page comics in general. When I first started reading and making webcomics, scrolling format wasn't really a thing on account of smartphones not really existing. Tapas wasn't exclusivel…
I wholeheartedly agree with what others have said; trying smaller projects first may help you get used to the idea that Done > Perfect. My early comics are painful to look at as someone who's grown closer to the style I was chasing, but I find that the audience is interested in seeing growth. For…
Wow, it's been a while since I've been here ! Thank you for hosting such a thread.
JUDAS SIGHED is most certainly not for children - I like to pretend that only people 18 and older read it 
(though I'm sure younger folks can handle it).
The premise of the comic is essentially, "What if CPTSD car…
I'm lucky enough to already live in an agricultural area, so weather permitting, food wouldn't be too much of a hassle. Would it get boring though, eating the same two animals and handful of plants ? Absolutely. The intelligence of the zombies complicates a few things. If they've got enough force …
That's very real. I ended up changing my pressure sensitivity to be a lot higher so that I can ink comfortably. That being said, I use a varied lineweight and start around 15px on a 350dpi canvas. [image] I switched from Medibang Paint to Clip Studio Paint EX some time around 2020, but the def…

Thank you so much ! I appreciate your time 
May it resolve easily for the folks working on the back end. 
Well, I've tried the following things: clearing caches, logging out, etc switching browsers restarting the computer changing the scheduling time At first I assumed that it was some sort of softlock - "hey, having 16 updates scheduled is too many," so I waited to see if it would go through af…
I installed Firefox fresh, but I have the same issue 
[image]
I'm not sure what's causing it.

Hello ! I tried clearing the cache, but not a different browser. I'll give that a go.
Hello again. It's been a while. Lately, my queue is getting pretty sizeable. I go to schedule an episode as usual. [image] I click schedule, and after a moment... [image] Since there's no error codes, I can't easily look up if anyone else has had similar problems. Is there anyone still on the T…

It's something I've given a lot of thought. I don't care if my work isn't popular. But what is important to me is that it's finished and out there. So the people I trust have copies of the work, behind the scenes. It doesn't need to be drawn all the way out. As long as it's out there, it's okay…
Honestly, there are some parts of my comic that make me extremely nervous to post on Tapas as they are... So I release uncensored pages on my Patreon. Terrible things happen in Judas Sighed that are integral to the story, but I also don't want to spring that sort of content on people who aren't read…
Setting up 3D assets 100%. Flatting on characters, probably; the comic has a main palette for each character and overall, but there's a few colors that I deliberately make sparse in backgrounds (green and blue, specifically). I'm kind of picky with my bubbles and text these days, but I could sa…
Making comics is very integral to my life, and I'm very lucky to just be able to... go ? I do thumbnails, so that makes the first page a little bit less daunting, I think. I set up my thumbnail pages, get out the two pens I'm going to use, and sticky notes. I usually have an idea of what I want t…
For me, the feedback is mostly to keep me going. I like knowing that there's a point in shouting into the void, so to speak. There have been some legibility things that I want to keep in mind... but outside of that, the story isn't changing. I think that it's kind of hard, when I'm writing a trag…
I just put a new collection up recently !
Here's ANHEDONIA specifically, a lot of stickers and two shirt designs. Black lines variant of the 404 design

And then here's my plain storefront:
Bonus art I made, just because I liked it [:sweat_02:] [i…

In large-scale terms, blanket terms, no - I don't think so. I think that it's more charitable to your fellow human to accurately warn for content when able, but I don't think that outright censorship is ever the answer. One of the most human behaviors is making art. Art can be poorly made, disgu…
Here's just my flats: [image] And then here's the page with shading and textures: [image] It's kind of a busy page, but it shows pretty well why I shade this comic; the palette is rather restricted, so colors are bound to repeat in a few places. Shading and textures help differentiate them from …

So charming ! You captured his cuteness very well. Thank you for the drawing, I'll treasure it forever <3
Here's a cap of Lan, he's the protagonist of the comic. [image] Was Heather Mason or Lollipop Chainsaw a design influence for Stacy ? She seems really fun !

Oh jeez [:sweat_02:] I want to preface this; my opinions about comic artists' words outside of their work - I suppose it can be called the metatext - is mostly concerned with how they approach their communities. I don't really care about the creator's personality most times. As long as they're not…
Oh yeah, 100% [:sweat_02:] At least some of the beginning, anyway. I didn't have a script when I started, I thought that my comic was going to be something I made between other work. It was originally going to be much less structured... So I didn't bother with trying to make it for anyone beside mys…
When I'm on schedule, I like to have at least 10 or so pages done ahead of time. How many weeks that buys me is up to the pacing of the section, lol - but I would never post more than three pages in one week. I got kneecapped by life recently, so picking up the pieces of that has seriously messed…
I'm sure I've cried while writing certain parts, but I think what I usually get is "oh gods, that is disgusting!" There was a scene that went public pretty recently where I had written it, gotten nauseous, and then realized that if someone like me - someone who is rarely disgusted by things that h…
I love C4C ! They're one of the few grant opportunities for comic/sequential artists in North America, and they've partnered with two of my favorite indie (ish, depending on how you view Image) publishers. I submitted a pitch this year, I'm quite excited to see the outcome. It's a little bitterswe…
Ah, I love threads like this ! JUDAS SIGHED is many things, but most importantly to me - it implies that even Judas Iscariot would pity the protagonist. I wanted the title to evoke deep regret and disappointment. On another level, it's meant to pair with the phrase "Jesus wept." The tree on the…
@Lady_T_Musings , you are a LIFE SAVER ! I've always had trouble finding a good source of references for larger bodied folks. For me, it's a mix of what other people have said. I have Body Kun & Chan sitting on my desk, as you can see here. I have the grey ones, so I usually end up photographing …
Yeah, I've done that before. Though I will skip on comics that have some serious eye-strain going on, like people have mentioned - if it's very bright or so hard to read that zooming doesn't help, it's over. But I read comics where the style isn't to my taste. There's always plenty to learn, espe…
JUDAS SIGHED is definitely the kind of comic I would read. Clarissa Ruins Everything (CSA trigger warning, the whole thing) was a comic that I'd fallen head over heels for, and comics that were in the same vein - In Clothes Called Fat (ED trigger warning, again, the whole thing) and Not Simple (Wher…
Insurance, I believe, depends on if the venue requires you to have it or not ? I'm not sure where you're based in the world, though, so take that with a grain of salt. It might be a good idea if you have really expensive merchandise; both individual pieces (say you have one item that's 60+ USD) and …
